Overturning Roe is about way more than abortion
Dandridge, Tenn.: Have you read the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization majority opinion by the Supreme Court? Note that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were not even tangentially challenged by this case. Abandoning stare decisis in favor of whitelisting protected freedoms is extremely unusual for the court and makes it abundantly clear that the bench majority has an agenda of unraveling cherry-picked, non-taxonomical doctrine, leaving everyone to fend for themselves in the states. This is extremely dangerous, as categorical human rights protections are the only thing keeping this nation habitable for free-thinking, conscientious and compassionate people. The majority of people who approve of the Dobbs ruling are comfortable thus far with this signaled trend, knowing that it is motivated primarily to expand the controls of indoctrinated Christianity. However, if a sanctified religious practice such as the right to commit male infant circumcision were to be threatened in this way, churchgoers would take to the streets in droves to wave the flags of the 14th and Ninth Amendments. The Ninth Amendment states: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Clarence Thomas has indicated in writing that this move was part of a concerted effort to remove additional stare decisis protections that are unfavorable to Christians (or advertised Christianity), such as gay marriage, interracial marriage, fornication, sodomy, contraception and more. This move by the religious-right high court majority signals the extremely dangerous intent to integrate church and state by proxy, allowing states to do so at their whim. This move is not only unconstitutional, it is evil.
